THE HISTORY OF TEXAS
GARAGE BANDS VOL. 6: PSYCHEDELIC FLOWER POWER WITH SUNSET LOVE

(Collectables COL-CD-0665)

1995

Fourteen unreleased tracks recorded in Odessa, Texas
in 1968 for a proposed album on the AOK label that never materialised. Quaint
folky-flower-pop with male-female harmonising influenced by the likes of Mamas and Papas and
soft West Coast sounds ala Ashes / Peanut Butter Conspiracy...
there is a very occasional psychy touch but nothing to get too heady about. No
details of the group are given, just a track-by-track synopsis. The liner notes
comparing this to The Zombies' Odessey And Oracle is pushing it way too
far, especially since they misspelt it as "Oddysey...".
